Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, despite the availability of high-quality screening options. Multiple barriers to CRC screening have been identified, including cost for the uninsured, younger age, racial or ethnic minorities, recent immigration to the United States (non-English speakers), fear or distrust of the health care system, and rural residence. This learning collaborative will explore barriers to CRC screening and identify interventions that can be implemented by health center programs serving at-risk populations.
